Johnny Beane sent me, Always nice to see anyone asked to do interviews and or do videography doing and releasing what they was asked to do. Even if it’s many years later, it makes it all the more special ❤️ ThankYou for sharing you work 👍🏼
It floors me to hear how many interviews Ed n Sammy did together, and what good friends they were or appeared to be. Then 9 years later there was nothing. I mean if they didn't have a good friendship why would Ed have co produced and played bass on a Sammy solo album ? Too bad we never got to see them reconcile , I would rather have Ed n Sammy at odds with each other, as long as we still had Ed here now.
It was amazing how John Enwhistle made the Bass guitar as more of a lead instrument with The Who. Pete Townsend as a result of the bass skill’s of John basically played more of a rhythm guitar. An exceptional interview with Ed Van Halen and Sammy Hagar.
It was a hand-held stereo cassette recorder, and I used high-end tapes. 1987 was the year they began selling DAT recorders, but I didn't own one until the early 1990s.
Regarding their unrehearsed performances of Pipeline or Wipeout mentioned at 18:26, here's a 30-second clip of them doing the latter during a soundcheck in '86: ruclips.net/video/ejYOWmjix9E/видео.html
Yes, it was not heavy. And up-close, it looked very homemade. When it was white and black in 1978, for instance, you could see that the uneven finish was done with a can of spray paint and striped with electrician's tape. What stood out to me when I played it was how wide the string spacings were at the nut. I'd never seen anything like that before.
@@TalkingGuitarJasObrecht yeah those are probably the super wide 1 3/4” necks that Lynn E. was making. Funny thing is during the interview you can hear the strings popping out of the nut all the time since they were indeed wound in reverse on the tuners as he has said to keep it in tune with the bar. And he mentioned that the neck needed to be adjusted with the truss rod so that wouldn’t happen. That’s wild. So his guitar was really something that , kinda, only he could play and had to be setup perfectly to play right. Thank you so so much for these tapes Jas. At 54 it’s wonderful to hear my biggest guitar hero talk shop with you.
Sammy is playing the DLR role pretty well in this interview. Geez. It’s basically a Sammy interview. From Eddie disses to talking about how much he plays guitar…. I can’t.
Well Hagar is motor mouth and was also insulting Eddie about drinking and bad guitar playing,Hagar should have toned it down and let his boss Eddie do the talking
Great interview...I feel that eddie just got sick of Sammy for some reason and had enough. There's something about hagar that is kinda grating in this era, not so much as he is now older. After all it was Eddie and Alex's band. I think hagar thought it was his at some point and eddie said enough
Hagar just showed how he is a big a-hole,why would he bring up negative stuff and insult Eddie his meal ticket his boss bye saying Eddie was drunk and played the guitar poorly!! Like why even bring that up
Hagar has 2 sides, business sammy and regular everyday sammy who is an incredibly generous good dude. Business sammy is unbearable and all about sammy and his cabo tequilla b.s.
I must’ve read this interview a hundred times in study hall when I was 15.
Seems we had a similar adolescence
😂
Me too!
I remember they laughed rather a lot
@@douglasanderson8636 (laughs) 😂 these old interviews were my salvation as a kid. Read them a million times.
always incredible Jas. Thank you for sharing these historical moments!!
I read this interview a million times when I was in high school -- it's awesome to hear it
This is amazing to hear cousin Jas! I read this interview many times and remember it well.
Oooo. Thank your cousin Jas for this Johnny ! 😊
Was this the one where Ed was recording bass parts on Sammy’s solo album ?
@@walterevans2118Yes.

Greatest interview ever

Jas im suprised, the audio is super clear, what is the recorder used in this recording? thank you for sharing this to us Van Halen fans❤❤

Jas, you said that you handled Edwards frankenstrat. I think you said it was medium weight and not heavy?
Much obliged
Great stuff

It's supposed to be a Sammy interview, because it's for his solo record, so that's the main topic
It seems like there's already tension between these two. 🤔
My favorite era of VH!
They were in their wheelhouse man!
I already did leave one
😎
Ed doesn't seem to be in the best mood here. Still cool but I think he was more open when Sammy wasn't around. JMTC
Well Hagar is motor mouth and was also insulting Eddie about drinking and bad guitar playing,Hagar should have toned it down and let his boss Eddie do the talking
Eddie was on a downhill at this point...

Hagar talking about dancing!! Hagar can't dance all he used to do was jumping jacks in place!!
Hagar just showed how he is a big a-hole,why would he bring up negative stuff and insult Eddie his meal ticket his boss bye saying Eddie was drunk and played the guitar poorly!! Like why even bring that up
Eddie was pissy in this interview. Didnt want to answer a lot of guitar geek questions
Hagar has 2 sides, business sammy and regular everyday sammy who is an incredibly generous good dude. Business sammy is unbearable and all about sammy and his cabo tequilla b.s.
This was a bad hair period for both of these guys!!!
